How to renew your real estate license in Oklahoma
Oklahoma real estate licenses must be renewed every three years through the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission (OREC). To maintain an active license, Oklahoma real estate Sales Associates, Broker Associates, and Brokers must complete continuing education requirements, submit a renewal application through the OREC online portal, and pay the required renewal fee before the license expiration date.
Oklahoma real estate license renewal steps
Oklahoma real estate licenses renew every 36 months (three years) from the date of issuance or last renewal. Renew your license before the expiration date to avoid Lapsed status and interruptions to your ability to practice real estate in Oklahoma.
Step 1
Complete your continuing education requirements
Before renewing your license, complete all required continuing education for your license type.
Oklahoma Resident Sales Associate and Broker Associate CE requirements: 30 hours
Currently, the required coursework includes:
- 6 hours Contracts and Forms
- 3 hours Professional Conduct
- 1 hour Broker Relationship Act
- 1 hour Code and Rules
- 1 hour Fair Housing
- 1 hour Hot Topic
- 17 hours of approved electives
Oklahoma Resident Broker CE requirements: 30 hours
Currently, the required coursework includes:
- 15-hour Broker in Charge (BIC) course
- 6 hours Contracts and Forms
- 9 hours of approved electives
Non-resident continuing education requirements
Non-resident Sales Associates, Broker Associates, and Brokers must complete 8 total hours of continuing education, including:
- 1 hour Oklahoma Broker Relationship Act
- 1 hour Oklahoma Code and Rules
- 6 hours Contracts and Forms
To qualify for non-resident status, licensees must hold an active license in another state and complete all CE requirements in that state.
Provisional Sales Associate requirements
Provisional Sales Associates must complete a 45-hour post-license course prior to the license expiration date.
Important continuing education reminders:
- All active licensees must submit proof of CE completion before renewal
- Continuing education providers must be approved by OREC
- Continuing education should be completed before the renewal deadline to avoid Lapsed status
- Online continuing education is permitted if approved by OREC
If continuing education is not completed before expiration, the license will move to Lapsed status until renewal requirements are satisfied.
Pro Tip: Complete continuing education several weeks before expiration to avoid reporting delays and late renewal complications.
Step 2
Access the OREC online renewal portal
Oklahoma real estate licenses are renewed through the OREC online licensing portal.
Before renewing:
- Verify your expiration date
- Confirm your continuing education is complete
- Update any contact information if needed
Licensees should maintain copies of all CE certificates and renewal confirmations for their records.
Step 3
Submit your renewal application and pay your renewal fee
Current Oklahoma renewal fees include:
Sales Associate renewal fees
- Active license renewal: $220
- Inactive license renewal: $145
Broker Associate renewal fees
- Active license renewal: $265
- Inactive license renewal: $170
Broker renewal fees
- Active license renewal: $300
- Inactive license renewal: $180
Licensees who fail to complete continuing education before renewal are placed into Lapsed status. If continuing education is completed within one year after expiration, renewal may still be completed through the OREC license portal. Additional fees may apply for late renewals or reinstatement.
After submitting renewal:
- Save your payment confirmation
- Verify your updated license status through the OREC system
- Download or print updated license information for your records
Most renewal applications are processed within several business days.
